A unified Address Book - Part 2

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

More thoughts on the unified address book. If you can make an address book that is a central address resource for all your web and desktop applications, it most likely should include instant messaging. Now I'm not a big IM guy; I have a few friends that I keep in ...

A unified address book

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

One of the 'killer apps' that should be out there by now is a Unified Address book. I've seen rumblings about this on the net, but so far no one seems to have put one together. I'm not sure why. So what is a unified address book and why is it ...

My new business venture

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I have decided, after considerable thought and cogitation, that my abilities in terms of sewing are now to the point where I can go commercial. Yup, I have started my own gear making business. May I present to you; gunsaddles.com Gunsaddles.com is a manufacturer of bespoke shooting accessories. Yes I used the ...

More sewetry in motion!

Thursday, July 23rd, 2009

This is where I started from: I've been carrying my Bersa for a while now, sometimes I carry open, sometimes concealed depending on my mood, where I am going and the weather. I have a vest that I often wear when I'm concealing - its a photographers vest, not an expensive ...

Shotgun Ammo Carrier

Sunday, July 12th, 2009

I've had a few projects I've been working on of late, but this one was finished (and started actually) this morning. I wanted something to carry extra shells for my home defense shotgun. I considered buying something but I'm way to tight for that right now, so inspired by some ...

Fun with String

Tuesday, June 30th, 2009

550 cord - if you are any kind of outdoors-man, survivalist, preparedness freak, you'll have some 550 cord somewhere. This cord is versatile, strong and has a million uses (maybe more). I have a few reels of it lying around and every now and then I get the urge to ...

Sony eBook Reader review

Friday, May 1st, 2009

This is not your average eBook reader review; this review is biased towards the survivalist and preparedness geek. There has been discussion on some of the forums (fora?) that I frequent, of using an iPod as a resource for emergencies. Not only can it entertain you with music and now ...
